Stanley Lake — photo spot in Stanley Lake, Idaho 83637, USA
Stanley Lake
Alpine lake set under the jagged Sawtooth peaks — ideal for mirror reflections, mountain panoramas, shoreline compositions with pines and boulders. Accessible by a short paved spur off ID‑21 with a day‑use area, small parking lot and campground. Best at sunrise for glassy reflections and warm light, or at golden hour in autumn when aspens and larches add color. Expect variable spring snowmelt; summer brings wildflowers but more visitors. Bring layers for sudden cool temps.
